Questions
Patience
Doctor
Step 1: Determine location 定位疼的確切部位
Determine the location of the pain: the temples, eyes, forehead, muscles in the face and neck, and so on.
Step 2: Rate intensity 明確疼痛的程度
Rate the intensity of the pain on a scale of 1 to 10. Determine whether the pain comes and goes or if that level of pain is continual.
Though the intensity may indicate a migraine, there could be other factors, like allergies or an infection.
Step 3: Identify possible causes 確定疼痛的來源
Recall recent traumas or colds, ear aches, and infections that may contribute to head pain.
New medications may cause reactions involving severe pain. Food allergies can also create headaches.
Step 4: Rule out things 排除不能導致頭疼的可能
Rule out possible causes by asking how light in the eyes affects the pain and what sorts of things make it lessen or worsen. If the throbbing lasts for days, pulsates on one side, brings nausea, and is unaffected by over the counter drugs, a migraine is the likely culprit.
Step 5: Evaluate when it comes on 評估頭疼可能出現(xiàn)的時間
Evaluate factors like when pain occurs, such as when you wake up, right after eating, during stressful events, or while exercising.
Step 6: Describe the pain 準確描述病情
Describe the pain as dull, sharp, pressured, disorienting, throbbing, or exploding. This information will be helpful to a doctor.
Numbness, tingling, and weakness elsewhere might be related and could indicate something as severe as a stroke. Don’t dismiss any signs.
Step 7: Visit doctor 咨詢醫(yī)生
Consult with a doctor, who will collect information about past operations or sicknesses and finally make a diagnosis. With proper identification and care, you’ll be on your way to treating your pain and feeling like new again.
